More Pics of T-Mobile HTC Shadow II Surface

T-Mobile seems to be on a roll. After the much talked about launch of the first Google Android operating system based phone, G1, the company seems to be readying to introduce the T-Mobile Shadow II smartphone.

The original Shadow phone from HTC running Windows Mobile was a hit among consumers and not surprisingly it has spawned a successor. Leaked pictures of the Shadow II showed up in an online forum though the poster seems unclear whether it is the Shadow II or Shadow 3 phone.

The phone, most likely the Shadow II, has a two letters per key keyboard but not much is known about the phone’s specifications or whether it will support 3G. Online buzz has it that T-Mobile is planning an October 15
release for the device priced at $150.

Now if that is the pricing then it is time to do a rethink. The T-Mobile will be available for $180 and seems like a much smarter device, with its access to an applications marketplace, for users to buy. $150 for the Shadow II may just price the device too high for it to really appeal to consumers.
